FIRST CALL FOR PAPERS

The 7th Discourse Anaphora and Anaphor Resolution Colloquium
  (DAARC2009)

Goa, India
 hosted by AU-KBC Research Centre, Anna University, Chennai
 November 5-6, 2009

Anaphora is a central topic in the study of natural language and has 
long been the object of research in a wide range of disciplines such as 
theoretical, corpus and computational linguistics, philosophy of 
language, cognitive science, psycholinguistics and cognitive psychology. 
On the other hand, the correct interpretation of anaphora has played an 
increasingly vital role in real-world natural language processing 
applications, including machine translation, automatic abstracting, 
information extraction and question answering. As a result, the 
processing of anaphora has become one of the most productive topics of 
multi- and inter-disciplinary research, and has enjoyed increased 
interest and attention in recent years.

In this context, the Discourse Anaphora and Anaphor Resolution Colloquia 
(DAARC) have emerged as the major regular forum for presentation and 
discussion of the best research results in this area.  Initiated in 1996 
at Lancaster University and taken over in 2002 by the University of 
Lisbon, and moving out of Europe for the first time in 2009, to Goa, 
India, the DAARC series established itself as a specialised and 
competitive forum for the presentation of the latest results on anaphora 
processing, ranging from theoretical linguistic approaches through 
psycholinguistic and cognitive work to corpus studies and computational 
modelling.

 The seventh Discourse Anaphora and Anaphor Resolution Colloquium 
(DAARC2009) will take place in Goa, India, in November 5-6, 2009.  We 
would like to invite anyone currently researching in the areas of 
discourse anaphora and anaphor resolution, from any  methodological  
perspective or framework, to submit a paper to DAARC2009.
 
The closing date for submission is April 7, 2009. Notification of 
acceptance will be sent by June 15, 2009. Final versions of selected 
papers to be included in the proceedings are expected by June 30, 2009.

Submissions (extended abstracts) must be anonymous and at most 3 pages 
in length. For further details on the submission procedure and other 
relevant info on the colloquium visit its website at:
